CLEANING AND STORING YOUR SMARTPOWER DUET® FOOD PROCESSOR ATTACHMENT

Store the chopping blade and slicing/ shredding disc as you would sharp knives – out of the reach of children.

The work bowl, cover, pusher, chopping blade, and slicing/shredding disc are top shelf dishwasher safe. When placing parts in your dishwasher, insert the work bowl upside down. Remember where you place the sharp blade and disc, and be certain to unload the dishwasher carefully.

The gearbox collar is not immersible. To clean, just wipe with a damp cloth.

If you wash the blades and discs by hand, do it carefully. Avoid leaving them in soapy water where they may disappear from sight. To clean the metal blade, fill the work bowl with soapy water, hold the blade by its plastic center and move rapidly up and down on the center shaft of the bowl. Use of a spray hose is also effective. If necessary, use a brush.

The work bowl should not be placed in a microwave oven.
